Thick As Thieves Page #5

Synopsis: In New York, the experienced art thief, Keith Ripley, invites the bold thief from Miami, Gabriel Martin, to team up with him. He plans the heist of two valuable mysterious antique Faberge eggs, located in a safe, of the well protected Russian jewelry Romanov. Each egg is worth twenty million dollars on the black market, and Ripley needs his cut to free himself from his debt to a powerful mobster, known as Nicky. The reluctant Gabriel agrees to participate, after having a one night stand with Ripley's goddaughter Alexandra Karolin. Meanwhile, the persistent Lieutenant Weber, who has unsuccessfully tried to put Ripley in jail for twenty years, figures out how to anticipate the movements of the criminal in order to catch him.

police officers, go right ahead.

I'm sure my lawyer

will have us out in two hours.

It'd be a delightful two hours.

Get your hands down.

Then there's all that explaining

you'd have to do to your superiors.

Now that would be

an embarrassment.

Notorious thief gaining admittance

pretending to be you.

Great police work, Weber.

We should discuss my police work

when this is all over.

Hmm.

- Who's your sidekick?

- Jules Dassin.

Good to meet you, Jules.

I love your movies.

Enjoy the party, gents.

While it lasts.

Now... do you mind telling me

what that was all about?

- Just a cop.

- Really? No kidding.

We have been made in the very place

we are supposed to take down.

Exactly how do you stay out of jail?

Unless, of course, you and this Weber

are partners trying to set me up.

Are you, Ripley?

Here we go.

Come on. Move your damn ass!

Weber has no idea

what we're here for.

Of course he does.

He doesn't know when

and he doesn't know how.

And, no, he doesn't know

about the eggs.

No one does. Here.

The best way to neutralise Weber...

is to fuel his obsession

with busting me.

He's so blinded by it, he no longer

thinks like a cop. Trust me.

Give me a good reason to, huh?

I already gave you 40 million

good reasons. Here.

Now you've seen what the public sees,

it's time for the real treat.

That is, of course, as long as you

promise not to come back and rob us.

I guess I won't take any notes, then.

Our main vault.

Gregor dlsarm

the motlon detectors...

Even with the knowledge

of all protocols,

it is absolutely impregnable.

The voice sensors ask

our head of security, Boris Sergeev,

a random set of pre-recorded words.

But this is only half the process.

We also have

a biometric handprint sensor.

Since Mr. Sergeev and I are

the only ones who have clearance,

we must both be present

to open the vaults.

Once I activate

the biometric handprint sensor,

he must activate the voice sensor.

This way neither of us

can steal from the other.

Well, you better hope Mr. Sergeev

stays healthy.

I must stay

healthy as well!

- Hamburger.

- Hamburger.

- Blg Apple.

- Big Apple.

Jesus Christ.

The vault door

automatlcally resets on the hour...

at which polnt the sensor

must be actlvated in reverse...

All In all gentlemen

best not to get locked Inslde

Well, did I say it was gonna be easy?

No, but you didn't say

it would be impossible either.

Armoured glass...

It would take half an hour

to break through just one case.

But, I'm afraid, whoever tried

wouldn't even have half a second...

because an ultrasonic motion detector

would automatically lock him in...

and trigger the alarm.

Contalnment securlty gentlemen
